Unlike fiction, where an author must have a completed manuscript ready before they approach apublisher or agent, a nonfiction author only needs to develop a proposal to submit to publishers and/or agents. The proposal should answer the following questions:

Content: What is the book about?

Market: Who would be interested in this idea?

Competitive Titles: What other books already exist on this topic and how does this one differ?

Platform: Who is the author, why is the author the best person to produce this book, and what are they doing to engage with potential readers?
